Criteria for the application of nature quality indicators in agriculture are developed in this chapter. Some recent attempts to design nature quality indicators are reflected on. In addition, a yardstick is proposed for biodiversity as an instrument to quantify and judge biodiversity on individual holdings. In order to serve analyses on the effects of nature conservation measures, the precision of the yardstick can be improved through the provision of detailed monitoring data on various species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
